Bedford Police Arrest Two for Felony Drug Possession

BEDFORD — Chief John J. Bryfonski reports that the Bedford Police Department arrested two people on drug and weapon related charges during an overnight motor vehicle stop.

KYLE MEHLHORN, AGE 23, OF MERRIMACK, who was previously convicted on felony robbery charges in 2014, was charged with:

Felon in Possession of a Dangerous Weapon (Felony)

Possession of Controlled Substance/Narcotic Drugs (Felony)

Carrying a Concealed Handgun without a License (Misdemeanor)

Driving without Giving Proof (Misdemeanor)

Possession of Drugs in a Motor Vehicle (Misdemeanor)

Driving After Revocation or Suspension (Violation)

MEGAN LAVERY, AGE 22, OF CANDIA, was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance.

Just after midnight on Tuesday, Jan. 31, Bedford Police noticed that a white Hyundai Sonata had a taillight out and conducted a motor vehicle stop in the area of Route 101 and Jenkins Road. The driver, MEHLHORN, was unable to show proof of his driver’s license to the officer. Bedford Police then confirmed that MEHLHORN’s license had been suspended last year.

Two passengers were also in the car, but neither had a valid driver’s license. After police could not reach the registered owner of the vehicle, officers ordered the car to be towed.

During a tow inventory, officers found a loaded handgun, as well as a plastic bag containing an undisclosed amount of what was believed to be crack cocaine. MEHLHORN was later charged with possession of both items.

Officers had witnessed LAVERY, the front seat passenger, place the bag under the vehicle’s front seat during the motor vehicle stop.

LAVERY was released on $5,000 personal recognizance bail pending her appearance in Merrimack District Court on Thursday, March 9.

MEHLHORN was held at the Hillsborough County House of Corrections pending his arraignment in Merrimack District Court.

BEDFORD — Chief John Bryfonski reports that the Bedford Police Department arrested a man after he allegedly purposely struck another vehicle with his car after an altercation last night.

REDIET TEFERRA, AGE 26, OF MANCHESTER, was charged with Reckless Conduct: Place Another in Danger (felony) and Conduct After an Accident (misdemeanor).

At approximately 5:45 p.m., Bedford Police received a call from a witness of the crash, which occurred at the intersection of Route 101 and Constitution Drive. The witness proceeded to follow TEFERRA to the intersection of Route 114 and New Boston Road, where police intercepted the vehicle.

Through an initial investigation, police determined that TEFERRA intentionally struck another vehicle in the area of Route 101 and Constitution Drive while the vehicle’s operator was out of the car. TEFERRA and the driver of the other vehicle had allegedly gotten into an altercation while stopped at the light at Route 101 and Constitution Drive, and following the incident, TEFERRA left the scene, striking the other person’s vehicle in the process.

TEFERRA was arrested on scene, processed and released on $5,000 Personal Recognizance bail pending his appearance in Merrimack District Court on Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 9 a.m.

These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Burlington Police Arrest Two for Breaking and Entering

BURLINGTON — Chief Michael Kent reports that the Burlington Police Department arrested two people for Breaking and Entering early this morning.

RONEL LAMAR HARVEY, AGE 23, OF HOLBROOK is charged with Breaking and Entering and Destruction of Property.

A 16-YEAR-OLD JUVENILE MALE, OF BRAINTREE, is charged with Breaking and Entering at Night Placing Person in Fear and Destruction of Property.

At approximately 12:50 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 20, Burlington Police were dispatched to a residence on Westwood Street for a report of a breaking and entering in progress.

The homeowners woke up to loud banging noises coming from the front door. One of the residents got up to investigate and saw that the locked front door had been kicked in and two males were running from the home.

Moments later, dispatch notified police that a Burlington resident reported they had just been attacked on Westwood Street and the suspects were currently operating a white Jeep Cherokee close by on Michael Drive. Officers arrived at the scene and apprehended HARVEY and the 16-YEAR-OLD JUVENILE, as well as a female party who was driving the Jeep.

The female party was in the area to meet the Burlington resident, who she met online. The two allegedly had an altercation and the Burlington resident called police, while the female party called HARVEY and the 16-YEAR-OLD JUVENILE who were traveling with her.

After an initial investigation, which included interviews with the homeowners on Westwood Street, police determined that HARVEY and the 16-YEAR-OLD JUVENILE had allegedly mistakenly broke into the residence on Westwood Street while looking for the female party who they thought was inside the house. The two were taken into custody without incident.

HARVEY is being held on $2,540 bail at the Burlington Police station pending his arraignment at Woburn District Court. The 16-YEAR-OLD JUVENILE was released to the custody of his sister.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
